Just Move
Just Move is a program designed for individuals with chronic conditions, providing a safe and evidence-based approach to learning the fundamentals of exercise and incorporating movement into their daily lives. It is specifically tailored for individuals who have been diagnosed with a chronic condition or are at risk of developing one. The program spans over eight weeks and consists of two levels.
Level One of the Just Move program includes two 45-minute exercise classes and one health education session per week. Participants engage in guided exercise sessions while also receiving valuable information and education about their specific chronic condition.
Level Two of the program involves one 45-minute exercise class per week, accompanied by an individualized exercise prescription. This level is personalized to the unique needs and abilities of each participant, providing targeted exercises that align with their specific chronic condition.
The primary objective of the Just Move program is to support and empower patients in discovering movement patterns that are beneficial and comfortable for their individual bodies. By doing so, participants are encouraged to integrate these newfound movements into their everyday activities, engage in community exercise programs, and enjoy recreational pursuits.
*Mondays are in-person at 9 am at the Edson Leisure Centre Hospitality Room, and Wednesdays are at 9 am online on Zoom.
1 to 1 appointments are focused on lifestyle counselling, exercise prescription and education. Patients will be scheduled for an initial consult including a fitness assessment in order to create a tailored plan.
Prior to being admitted to any exercise program, medical clearance will need to be established.
Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, help manage an existing chronic condition, guide you in how to move and modify exercises in a way that feels good for your body and empower you to make lifestyle choices that support your health.
